For this project we took Edgar Allen Poe's story the Pit and the Pendulum and used the facts about the pendulum to calculate if the stories prisoner had time to escape from a descending pendulum. We learned how to calculate the period of a pendulum, standard deviation, mean, range, how to make a frequency bar graph, how to use google sheets, normal distributions, data spreads and data variations, and how to analyze graphs. As a final product we kept a portfolio of all the work we did the unit.
